ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) - The University of Michigan Board of Regents is considering two proposals totaling more than $200 million to consolidate the school’s clinical pathology laboratories and house its robotics program.
The University of Michigan Hospitals and Health Centers is seeking $160 million to build a new facility for clinical pathology laboratories. The university’s vice president for medical affairs and chief financial officer says the project will improve efficiency and reduce the cost of operating laboratories in multiple locations.
The school’s College of Engineering has proposed a $54 million project to build a three-story building with research laboratories, offices and classroom space for the robotics program.
The Ann Arbor News (https://bit.ly/1DDkpj9 ) reports the board is expected to consider both proposals at its Thursday meeting.
